Haleigh M. Dobbs

Haleigh Dobbs serves as a Contracts Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Army’s aerial and missile defense capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical aerospace systems, including avionics, propulsion components, and sensor integration for platforms such as the UH-60 and AH-64 Apache. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to advance next-generation air and missile defense technologies through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting practices. Dobbs specializes in R&D-driven acquisitions and engineering services that bridge developmental prototypes with operational fielding. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Dobbs routinely engages with prime contractors and Tier-1 subcontractors in aerospace manufacturing and systems integration, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and rigorous oversight. She works closely with firms possessing specialized expertise in aircraft systems engineering, flight control architecture, and radar/IR sensor development, ensuring contractual terms align with DoD acquisition regulations and technical specifications. Dobbs’ contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible industrial base to meet urgent capability gaps, prioritizing technical superiority and schedule certainty over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-aside mechanisms, she ensures fair opportunity for all qualified vendors through transparent solicitation practices and robust market research. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), accounting for 60% of her portfolio, with significant activity in NAICS 336411 and 336413 for aircraft and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. She possesses deep technical familiarity with aerospace systems integration, guidance and control systems, and propulsion subsystems, consistently advancing contracts that transition cutting-edge research into deployable defense capabilities.
